Drae, that big wall of radar towers wasn't a listening station. it was an early warning detection system for incoming Nukes. gotta love the cold war.

The Duga System aka: The Russian Woodpecker. From what I gather it’s a site to behold. Massive radar system and back in the 80s, if you listened at the right time on a shortwave radio. You could pick up that particular numbers station. It would admit short tapping noises hence the name “Russian Woodpecker”. Put out one hell of a strong signal, it would actually interrupt legit broadcasts, ham radio operators had an issue with this radar also.

Drae, Chernobyl was THE event that advanced our knowledge of radiation. Before this we didn't have that much knowledge and even that knowledge was only known by those who specifically studied it. That's why the characters don't seem to know that much.

Drae, you are correct. @41:49 if you (or anyone) gets impaled it is normally preferred if you stabilize the object and leave it in until you get to a hospital, which should be your next destination.

I know it's a game so it won't happen that way but if I remember right, the elephant's foot would basically give you the highest lethal doses of radiation just by looking at it, much less being within a big proximity of it. It's gotten better now but yeah, crazy how much radiation was contained in that on first finding it.

Well that’s kind of what happens when you melt a bunch of uranium, which then melts its control rods, which then melts the reactor itself, which then melts several feet of concrete.

The reason you were throughing the most radiated material on the roof is because the wind would take the radiation much in wider radius if they kept the ore on the roof.

It's correct, technically. IIRC, chornobyl is the native way it was written in its home country (Ukraine), and it didn't become chernobyl until it was making international news, at which point the Americanized spelling just stuck for a lot of places.

Honestly, the game looks good visually, but the way it's written, I don't entirely enjoy. The story is all over the place, it switches from character to character, I'm not sure if it's poorly translated on purpose or if that's the way it's meant to be, but it just seems meh. This feels like it could've been made so much better had they focused a lot more on the story aspect and gameplay aspect rather than the visuals.

The graphite on the roof was highly radioactive so they had only 90 seconds because the longer you stay near that stuff. The more chance you die or get cancer they had to shovel that stuff off the roof.

At the end with the guys cleaning the roof. All of them died due to radiation poisoning. They needed to throw the radioactive debris back into the reactor to seal it. At first they sent robots there, but the radiation was so strong, that it just fried the microchips. So the only thing left was guys with shovels. And another "fun" sidenote. It still was an active plant, till the year 2000.
